Thumbs up He Makes $10,000 A Day and He Makes Over $500,000 A year

A big thanks goes to the members at Digital Point Forums for this information. I thought some of the members here at Sitepoint would be interested in how these two individuals are making good money with Google Adsense.

First, Here is The $10,000 A Day Guy.

Second, Here is John Reese. He Makes Over $500,000 A Year With Google Adsense. This Is A Video.

Sorry, if old.

Very Interesting Information!

Enjoy Everyone

You did. The one in the video is John RessE and is american. The other one is John Rees (no E at the end) and is british.

Two things:

1) I find it very weird that people in the comments for that post are going all into the idea that the success of the first site was due to its ugliness. As stated elsewhere, this guy has a large advertising budget and got in early. In general, people seem to be confusing the value of "ugliness" with:
  • The value of good ad placement (which can make a site seem uglier/more commercial)
  • The value of quick loading times ("prettiness" of a site is often correlated with slow loading times, and thus lower earnings, but the cause/effect relationship is not prettiness->lower earnings)
2) John Reese's big thing is what he calls "virtual real estate"; basically just throwing up a bunch of websites on various niche subjects after keyword research. He was once in the scraped SERP content game and made a lot of money from that a couple years ago, though I believe now he's doing something else.

I spent a grand total of 11 grand for my first year, most of that on hosting/servers and link buying. THere were more free sites back then, then there are now. Given that there are 1000 dating sites with more then 400 visitors a day and another 90,000 that got set up and never went anywhere it is a very hard market to get into. True.com is spending 38 million a year trying to buy into the market and getting nowhere. Free site webdate.com spent a good 500k/month and crashed and burned.

You spent? So plentyofish is yours? How did you do to compete in that very hard market?

in the first article he mentions his site's ugly design for plentyoffish... and how that contributed to some of its success.. this had nothing to do with it, in my opinion. he started a FREE dating site at exactly the right time, when there were hardly any around.

They didn't invent KISS for nothing. Ugly sites rule!! Get visitors to your site and push them out the ad door ASAP.

Thinking about the last link (the video).
Would like to know which sites he run (just a few examples).

Does he update the sites or just leave them after adding content?

These guys dont make these insane figures with ordinary websites. Youn eed special methods such as the Rapid Content Indexing System to make thousands of dollars a day with Adsense.

Good Google Serps help a lot but you dont need them to make 500-2000 a day with Adsense which I already do.

You can make a lot of money with Adsense. It isnt that difficult once you elliminate the methods that DONT work. And there are plenty of those.

well John Reese claims to have made over $500k (in one year), with an outlay of only $3k, and with only 120 hours spent.......and without leveraging any of his other sites/lists etc

possible ?
